This is probably a stupid question, but I just can't find the answer anywhere! Under the new recruiting rules, are gymnasts who have not yet reached their junior year still allowed to call college coaches (and the coach is allowed to answer and speak with the gymnast)? My daughter has had one...
I realize that my opinion doesn't really matter in all of this, (its up to my daughter and her coaches), but I'm just curious. My daughter is a level 10 and she is really struggling to get a major release. Her jaeger was looking really good, but then she started hitting the bar and has now...
My daughter is going on her very first college visit this week and I am feeling a little clueless. What types of things should we ask him? Any advice?
Thanks for your help!
Our daughter is a 12-year-old level 10 gymnast. We completely love the gym where she is currently training and she has been very successful with this gym. Unfortunately, we are afraid that she has outgrown them. They have had some coaching turnover and the coaches that are left, although...
My daughter is 8 years old and is competing level 7 this year. In addition to several meets involving a 4 to 5-hour drive, she has one meet that will require a 7 to 8-hour drive and another one that will involve airfare. We have decided that we are not going to let her to the one that would...
Thanks for the responses! You have made me feel better. I guess my fear is that it will be harder for her to learn the upper level skills as she gets older and that by making her miss practice now, we're robbing her of the opportunity to learn them now while they're easier for her. I do...
We've recently made a tough decision for our daughter and we're second guessing ourselves. Our daughter is 8. She is eats, sleeps, and breathes gymnastics. She is going to compete level 7 this year, but she is training higher. (She has a nice standing back tuck on the beam and a nice...
Good question! I promise I had no idea she was that sick when I handed her over to her coaches. I knew she wasn't acting quite right, but she never said anything about not feeling good and she certainly didn't have a fever. I didn't know she was really sick until after the competition was over.
Thanks for your input everyone! I enjoyed reading all the comments. I guess we'll just keep it up as long as we can. I kind of panic every time they increase her practice time or move her up a level because of the increased impact it has on the family (not to mention the checking account!) I...
Hi! I have never posted here before, but I'm needing some insight. We know our daughter is a good gymnast. What we don't know is just how good she is and how much we should be putting into this.
Let me give you a little background. She was adopted on her first birthday from another...
